    Dtru got a reaction from Deactivatedfatgal in 4 weeks 5 days post op   
    From 360 to 315 lbs.Back in gym doing full workout and Feeling great .Eating pretty much a most Protein diet,mostly chicken fish (Poke) ground turkey and occasional red meat.I experienced some painful Constipation for about a week but after Metamucil and another stool softener I'm back to normal.The numbness is mostly gone from my legs.All in all I'm feeling great and can't wait to get under 300 lbs.Hope everyone is well.Thanks Tijuana Bariatrics,Dr Garcia and especially Dr Velazco for answering all my questions after surgery.You guys are the best and changed my life.

    Today was my first day lifting weights.Did chest and tris at about 2/3 my old weight.Keep in mind I wasn't power lifting doing lighter weight with higher reps.It felt amazing.Ive been at the gym since dayb1 but only on a treadmill.My diet it mostly high Protein with minimal carbs (oatmeal,fruit) I be ad a couple small bites of bread, pasta but I am still consuming yogurt and protein shakes.Peanut butter has been a huge help and I started eating turkey lunch meat with a small piece of string cheese.This new journey is amazing it feels great never being stuffed.I sleep all night,I used to wake up to Pee at least 4 times a night and i also don't snore anymore.My energy is way way up.Ibaas having leg numbness issues but that is slowly improving.As of today my only issue is slight Constipation from high protein diet but Metamucil nightly with another stool softener is helping a lot.I hope you all are doing well on your journeys.My results/reaction or whatever you want to call it are working for me.Find your groove and be patient.

    Tried a Protein Shake today two days ahead of schedule.My nurse said depending on how we felt to give it a shot and I drank the whole think and felt great after.I went to the gym and stretched and walked for 10 min on the treadmill then went grocery shopping with the wife.Inhave a gnawing hungry feeling like I'm ready to try some creamy Soup or yogurt but I don't want to push it.I got a little tired after about 3/4 of the shopping so I'm sitting down writing you guys.Ive spoken to a bunch of my boys that had this procedure and asked them if they are eating what they want and after 3-4 months you're on your own kinda just figuring your own limits.For me patience is the key cause I'm ready to test the waters but everyone tells me.....be careful...It hurts.Hope you guys are all well.
